Gov. Tom Wolf is happy to welcome anyone to Pa., including President Donald Trump, but he does have a request for anyone visiting the commonwealth as it continues a phased reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Wolf said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday that the President did not inform him of Thursday’s planned stop at a Lehigh Valley medical distributor, Owens & Minor Inc., and from the sounds of it, that isn’t a surprise.
That said, the Democrat has repeatedly said during this global health crisis that he can’t limit intrastate travel, which certainly applies to a trip made by the Republican Commander in Chief.

“Anybody’s welcome to visit the state,” Wolf said. “I would urge anybody coming to Pennsylvania to respect our efforts to stay safe, to keep people safe and businesses, wherever he visits. I hope he does everything in his power to keep employees safe.”
Plenty of attention will be paid to whether or not Trump wears a mask when visiting the facility, as face coverings are a requirement for anyone entering a business’s physical location. According to Leigh Valley Live, the purpose of the President’s trip is to “discuss coronavirus testing and efforts to build the nation’s stockpile of medical equipment, according to a White House official.”
“Pennsylvania has always been a state that welcomes visitors and we will continue to do that no matter who it is,” Wolf said.
Newsman or Wolfman?

Did Penna. open the liquor stores yet?
I think Pickel got his start blogging about sports, PSU football primarily, and his career blossomed into covering other things for PennLive since they can't pay anyone else.
I wonder if he will order the PA state police to arrest the President and his entourage for violating Wolf’s dictat for the state?
The best way to keep people safe is to fire all Democraps. Their constituents are likely to ventilate you with a sharp object for your pocket money so they can buy some crack.
Some stores have next day pick up.
Betcha he’ll want Trump to wear a mask.
Kinda. Curb service but you must 'call your order in first'.
A local Pittsburgh radio talker, Quinn, was at his local store, {where he is well known} and the state store employee at the curb recognized Quinn and called him and had to "take his order over the phone".
He was standing right there in front of her and the store, but they had to be phone connected to make the sale.
F'n Nutz.
Woof Woof can Go Fk Himself
Since I no longer respect the formerly great state of Pennsylvania, I will not have to worry about respecting their economy-destroying efforts pretending as “staying safe” due to the fact that I’ll keep my money in states that have intelligent leadership.
Eff you and your party governor.
PennLive is Pickle’s last stop, given he holds Dave Jones as someone to emulate.
I travel US Rt 22 every day to get to work. Rt 22 is one of two east/west highways that pass through the Lehigh Valley (Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton). The other major highway is I-78. Trump is going to no doubt fly into Lehigh Valley International and will most likely travel Rt 22 to his destination. Here is a link to the local media on the visit. https://www.wfmz.com/health/coronavirus/president-trump-to-visit-lehigh-valley-medical-equipment-distributor-thursday/article_063c3df2-93ea-11ea-834a-8f439c0c2056.html
Ok, all this to make the following comment. There are large electronic signs on Rt 22 and probably I-78 that currently message “NYC Residents visiting PA should Self-Quarantine 14 Days”. As if New Yorkers are going to drive through New Jersey to Pennsylvania and stay inside for two weeks. This is what we are up against here in PA.
Sign I saw in Lancaster Cty, a few years ago:
Welcome to Lancaster, PA.
We’d love to have you visit and spend money,
but please don’t move here.
see how nice WoofWoof is in his interview? He knows Trump aint there to visit some medical building..it’s to make this POS open the state because Pa. is a swing state.
Thanks for the update.
At least it’s better than having the Authoritahs arresting you in Ohio or W. Va.

Scroll wheel broken?
I was born in State College and lived in Pa most of my life. One can superimpose a Corona outbreak map over the Democrat areas that went to Wolf and it would be quite similar. Once we get to the Lehigh Valley,Pennsylvania area,it is still a incredible and rather conservative and god respecting region within the Commonwealth. Philadelphia,Pittsburgh and Harrisburg typically control the state unfortunately. How it went Wolf and Trump boggles my mind.
Back when Wolf won his first term this state was having a hissy fit over ex-RINO Gov. Tom Corbett and his FIFTY CENTS per gallon gas tax.
Another case of not so much the Democrat winning as a RINO stepping in it, bigtime.
